Amherst and Brownhelm FFA Croups Join in Soil Conservation Tour BY HAROLD KOLBE Forty-seven members of Amherst and Brownhelm FFA groups joined in a tour last week, sponsored by thf county extension service, soil conservation service and the county Farm Bureau.The first stop was at Harvey Bom's farm where we made a study of four different ways of soil conservation. Mr. Sanford gave us a summary of what was in store for us on the Born farm. Mr. Keep's talk was to tell us how to use and lay out a farm to the best advantage. He had two models of farms, one which showed the farm before the owner made any attempt to improve It, while the other showed it after the farm had been improved by soil conservation men. There were many improvements made on the farm. The farm was on a slope so they put in contour fields to have better drainage. Before the woodland was improved, the cows were pastured in the woods. We ' learned that this was not good for the growth of woods, so they had moved the pasture to a place where it was not possible to plow. These were a couple of the many improvements that were made. We were also shown how to drain a field that was not level, such as the field where we were. We were told that Mr. Born would not plow the field in the High School Play To Be Presented November 5, 6 Dates for the high school play, "Once and for All," originally scheduled for Oct. 29 and 30, have been changed to Nov. 5 and 6, according to Margaret Ege-land, director.

Mr. Klinglehoffer showed us how a field on- a slope should be drained. A gully at the foot of the field made it necessary to build a dam to prevent the soil from washing away. We were shown the proper placing of tile in the field. Demonstrations were given on how different soils hold water. Differences in weight -were pointed out, how grass helps prevent erosion, and how contour plowing of a slope helped prevent soil from washing away. During the afternoon we visited the Lamvermeyer farm where we saw the use and value of terraces in farming. From this farm we went next to the Harold Bauman farm where we also saw how contour iarming was preventing soil erosion.

Trees of the type we were shown required 10 years to grow two inches in diameter and about two feet in height. We also had a demonstration on the cutting of a tree.
